O eternal God, who knowest the hidden things, who has understood everything before creation, Lord Jesus Christ, hear me the sinner, and give us in thy name a favourable wind, so that we may cross the open sea, and glorify thy name for ever. There are five rhetorical travel genres: the propemptikon, which ‘speeds its subject on his journey with commendation’, the syntaktikon, which is the farewell of the departing traveller, the prosphonetikon, which is an address to someone arriving, and there is the epibaterion, the speech a traveller makes on arrival. By the twelfth century other personal accounts of travels are making their way through like other kinds of autobiographical writing: a communication at the symposium focused on a fourteenth-century account by Libadenos. Hodoiporikon fundamentally involves first person narrative, and in this way it overlaps with the second category of texts which can be described as travel genres.
